Too small
Size MR in this one was a little too snug for my liking. I’d size up to LR next time. I didn’t wear it but otherwise looked like a nice dress.

Great wedding guest dress
I’ve rented this one a few times in size 8 and it’s perfect. Nice drape, detailing at the stomach hides any issues, slit is not too high.

Beautiful dress!
I got this one in the 10 and 12 and would have worn the 12 because it was more comfortable but for my tan lines, which prevented me from wearing strapless (woops!). I’ll rent it again though!

Great cocktail dress!
Such a terrific party dress! I had the 8 and 10 and while both fit, the 10 was a little more comfortable on my stomach so I wore that one. Will definitely rent this one again!

Elegant dress for black tie
Beautiful dress, thick fabric. But it runs a little small - it was verrrrrryyyyyy fitted on me. There’s also the dreaded SIDE ZIPPER so if you’ve got a larger bust, get ready to stress about catching side boob in that zipper as you try to get it up. The little hook and eye closure was also a bit mangled, which didn’t help. But it is a very pretty dress. I might size up next time to see if that helps.

It looked dowdy on. It also wasn’t flattering in the midsection. I didn’t wear it.

Great minimal party dress
This is a great comfortable dress that works for a cocktail party! Be aware, the fabric can cling a little, but it’s black so it will be flattering. I got lots of compliments!

Gorgeous!
Stunning dress! The top part fit a little loose and I might have gone down a size but the rest of it fit perfectly. The fabric is beautiful - it’s not floor length (at least not on me!) but it still looked great with heels. I would definitely rent this one again!

Weird top
I think this dress runs a little small, but even if I’d gotten a larger size, I’m not sure the top of it would have worked. It’s just an odd style and was not flattering on me. I didn’t wear it.

Runs super small. I ordered a size up from my usual size and it still wasn’t zippering. Pretty dress but definitely size up!

Back rolls galore!
The way the zipper lay on this dress made it look like I had a giant back roll. And then the fabric back there accentuated the existing back rolls! Utterly not flattering. I hated it.

Stunnnnnnnning dress
This dress is unbelievably comfortable! You can wear a regular bra and spanx, the fabric is not too heavy but not too thin, and it's so flattering. I absolutely loved it. The buttons at the neck caught my hair a little, so be aware of that for updos. The slit is not too revealing but comfortable for walking. I'm 5'4 and my heel caught a couple of times (4" heel) on the hem, but otherwise the length was fine. Would rent this dress again!

Mermaid dress
"Interesting" is the best way to describe this dress. If you're going for an "under the sea" kind of look, then this is the gown for you. It was just "too" everything: too sparkly, too green. It's also a side-zipper dress, which I tend to dislike. While the zipper is fairly well concealed under all the green sequins, it did bulge out a tiny bit once it was zipped up (but not overly noticeable). Spanx are a must, since despite the plethora of sequins, I felt it traced all imperfections.

Perfect little black clutch--surprisingly roomy!
Super cute little clutch and the perfect size for a party. I would definitely rent again. Only issue was it was a bit worse for wear on one of the corners and I could see the white fabric underneath the sequins, but I kept it under my arm all night so I don't think it ended up being noticeable; but might be time to retire this one.

Phenomenally gorgeous!
Oh my! This dress is perfection. It's longish in a Mad Men kind of way, the bow at the neck makes it so festive, and fit like a glove. This was a replacement dress and I could not have been happier with it. Thanks RTR for saving the day!! Definitely would recommend this dress for hour-glass figured gals!

Ok dress
I got the medium and large but ended up wearing the large. While they both fit, it's a very clingy dress and I felt like the large clung to every lump and bump slightly less. It's a cute dress but it's actually kind of plain despite the bronze print. The material is also a little scratchy, but that didn't bother me too much. I expected it to me nicer than it was, so I didn't love it.

Perfect J. Crew dress
Great dress. Comfy and has pockets! I ordered the 4 & 6, ended up wearing the 6. 4 would have fit but been a bit more snug in the hips so I chose the 6 to be more comfortable. I actually want to buy this dress it's that great.

Great power dress
I ordered the 6 & 8 and honestly both fit great. The 8 was a little bit roomier so I went with the 6 for a sexier fit. What a great dress. Beautiful, understated yet classy & elegant. Wore it for a work event & it was perfect.

No
What a weird dress! The material is really thick & just looked like something you'd find on a mannequin in an abandoned house. The fit was bizarre, as if built for someone with a super long torso. I'd say if you're just 5'4 like me, this dress might not be for you.

Great envelope clutch!
This envelope clutch is pretty big but it's meant to lay flat, so don't expect to shove your wallet in here; but credit card slots on the inside ensure that you have a spot for your license & cards without having them strewn all across the bottom of the bag. Terrific rental & the zipper detail just gives it a little edgy vibe while still being classy!

Really different!
I ordered the small and medium but ended up going with the medium. The small would have fit but would look a little bit painted on. Gorgeous dress, really just different and unique. Beautiful pattern. Thicker fabric, so worked perfectly for a fall event. The 3/4 length sleeves were not as tight on my arm as I would have liked them to be so I'm deducting one star for that, but it wasn't a big deal. I would definitely rent this dress again.

I got a million compliments!
Absolutely stunning dress! I'd say runs a tiny bit small. I got the 42R & 44R but the 44 fit perfectly so I never even tried the 42. It's definitely "body con," but the shirring at the stomach and hips I think hides imperfections. The off the shoulder option to the top just made it even more gorgeous and I felt amazing all night.

Really sexy dress
I don't think I realized that there were see-through cut outs on the sides, but they're not really big so it looks classy. The only thing is to the extent that you might plan on wearing shape wear, it might not work out. Also, it's a side-zipper dress - and the zipper is TOUGH. The chipped black paint on the zipper appeared evidence that others also struggled with this zipper. I was able to just get the dress on without unzipping it, but I don't know that I could have zipped it up if I wasn't able to do it. Overall though it's a super sexy dress, it looked great, and I would rent it again!
